So do you design one thing for all needs or different things for different needs?<br /><br />I exempt the dripping on floor issue from this question, since that will affect everyone.nancy oarneire grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14268381210476277512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769028919762785741.post-31858267147871474952011-10-19T12:35:03.112-04:002011-10-19T12:35:03.112-04:00I wonder when someone will design a sink with a hi...I wonder when someone will design a sink with a high-power blow dryer right above it or next to the faucet so we don&#39;t have to drip all over the floor?nancy oarneire grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14268381210476277512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769028919762785741.post-55201672944489050762011-10-19T09:07:13.351-04:002011-10-19T09:07:13.351-04:00Thanks for stopping in, Mark!Thanks for stopping in, Mark!Kathryn Crafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371458857187160425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769028919762785741.post-70854783312230525812011-10-19T09:06:59.918-04:002011-10-19T09:06:59.918-04:00Doug: Had to laugh at your comment that ADA is the...Doug: Had to laugh at your comment that ADA is the &quot;low bar&quot;--shimmying under a bar is about the only thing I didn&#39;t have to do to get to that toilet stall!<br /><br />I really appreciate your thoughtful response.Kathryn Crafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371458857187160425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769028919762785741.post-46042492789064086492011-10-19T08:08:03.023-04:002011-10-19T08:08:03.023-04:00Wow ! what an interesting blog.Thanks for sharing ...Wow ! what an interesting blog.Thanks for sharing this information.Your information is really informative for us.<br />Nice blog on <a href="http://www.solution-people.net/Handicap__ADA_Bathroom.html" rel="nofollow">handicap bathroom design</a>.<br />Keep sharing more &amp; more.....markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05486619628017329930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769028919762785741.post-10489681095539302032011-10-18T10:03:47.148-04:002011-10-18T10:03:47.148-04:00This is the problem we face everyday as designers ...This is the problem we face everyday as designers who utilize universal design in our design solutions. You have now experienced the problems that exist when the ADA and real world collide! The ADA is the low bar, not the silver bullet. So many design professionals don&#39;t &quot;walk in your shoes&quot; when designing. Travel distance is often overlooked as is fixture placement (as you found out with the paper towel dispenser and blowdryers. So restrooms often have puddles of dripped water on the floor from people trying to find the trash cans; a very hazardous condition (you know about slipping on wet surfaces, right?). The real irony is these kind of issues are only going to become more prominent as the boomers age. Mobility problems are only exaggerated by today&#39;s problems of diabetes and obesity. Just look around and see the problems we are all encountering!Doug Gallow, AIAnoreply@blogger.com
